The Philadelphia Union has been struck by the injury bug hard early this season. The team has performed admirably in the face of adversity, and several players have turned the corner in their recovery. Head coach Jim Curtin answered questions about injuries during a media scrum on Friday afternoon after training at the Power Training Complex in Chester.
Here’s a rundown:
Sergio Santos
Santos is a full participant in training and is rounding toward full fitness. Curtin mentioned that he thinks Santos will play a role against the Revolution. Santos was an unused bench option on Wednesday and will probably play Saturday, possibly earning a start but more likely will be one of the first subs off the bench.
